Last Updated: 05/29/2022 at 6:11 PM ET
We have the reached the fourth round at the 2022 ATP French Open in Paris. At this stage of the tournament, Russian superstar Andrey Rublev is set to play against Jannik Sinner from Italy.
Jannik Sinner enters this match having won his previous outing in straight sets against Mackenzie McDonald from the United States. It was a dominant performance by Sinner with the Italian superstar controlling most of the fixture. The serving was especially strong from Sinner as he was able to win 15 out of his 16 service games. It has been a strong tournament for Jannik Sinner, but the Italian superstar must play at his best in this match as he takes on an elite player in Andrey Rublev.
On the other side of the court, Andrey Rublev is a very interesting player on clay, Rublev lacks the athletic ability of some of the top players but his stroke making ability allows him to challenge for any title in the world. Rublev enters this match having won his previous match against Christian Garin. It was an impressive display by Rublev as he dominated the match with his serving. Rublev hit 10 aces which helped in 16 service games. Rublev was also able to break his opponent’s serve on 5 occasions. Rublev is looking strong, but this should be a challenge for the Russian.
Andrey Rublev and Jannik Sinner have played each other 3 times in the past with Sinner winning twice and Rublev winning on 1 occasion. The most recent match between these two players was earlier in the season at the Monte Carlo Masters where Sinner won in 3 sets. On clay, Jannik Sinner is 2-0 against Andrey Rublev.
Looking at all the information, I am going to pick Jannik Sinner to win this match. Both Rublev and Sinner are strong players but on clay, I see Jannik Sinner being the stronger player. This was evident in Monte Carlo earlier in the season and I see a repeat result in this match.
